If you regularly follow Zennie62.com to the Night Of 100 Stars Oscar Party, you certainly remember Aza the singer and actress repped by Ed Lozzi of Edward Lozzi & Associates. Here’s AZA, of the album Aza Highspeed in this blogger’s video:
AZA claims that Carly Rae Jepsen and her business partner, producer, and talent agent Scott Braun, who’s also known as Justin Bieber’s business partner, have substantially copied AZA’s song “Hunky Santa” and performing, recording and distributing that derivative work, under the title ‘ Call Me Maybe”, and in doing so, infringed “with reckless disregard of AZA’s intellectual property rights.”
“I’m shocked and surprised that these people wanted to sample my lyrics on “Call Me Maybe”. They didn’t ask me for permission-they just stole it. That’s why I filed this law suit. When I first listened to it on the radio while driving my car, I almost got into an accident. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing”, said Aza.
Compare the songs for yourself. This is “Hunky Santa”:
Now here’s Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.”
This looks like it’s going to be an uphill battle for AZA. But the court information is as follows:
United States District Court – Central District of California
